I would put my chips on Risk Management/Compliance reasons. The regulators could impose some limitations on brokers/banks. Or just the T212 internal policies have limitations related to Risk Management.
@RLX maybe your right but I can buy large quantities in other accounts but its heavily restricted in T212. I have one holding that is āsell onlyā at present but I can place big orders elsewhere.
The vague comment Iāve seen refers to it being an issue between T212 and the intermediary (I assume IBKR). I have assumed that it is related to how fractional shares are supported and the whole arrangement that allows free trading. It would just be nice (for me at least) to have a clear and simple explanation.
Itās likely a reporting issue because of operating from IBKRs API. From the regulatory perspective buying and selling will look like collective action and not the action of individuals, which means 212 could be at the risk of having pauses placed on their trading activity.
Thatās what they mean by risk, risk borne by all clients because of this action, they really donāt care what you spend your cash on.
its so annoying having 212 have small cap uk stocks in sell only mode. Its just so annoying. Take plexus and ondo insuretch. When they were low sell only mode. When they multi bag can buy again. Then when they fall goes back into sell only mode. Come on, please just stop this because people on other platforms get to take part in the rise and fall, but 212 can only buy after the multi bags. If 212 dont want us to invest in small cap UK, then JUST DONT LIST THEM.
Such a shame, because apart from this 212 is by FAR the best platform i have ever been on, everything else is more than perfect.
I agree. Listed stock should not have any random surprise limits applied to them, if that is not possible for some reason, the stock should not be available through T212 at all. Trading is already difficult and risky, this just adds more difficulty and risk to traders.
At worst the APP should give a warning or show the Max Positon sizes in App. Having to refer to the webpage all the time for ever changing limits is not ideal.
@Bogi.H please can you increase $BIOL (BIOLASE) to be able to purchase at least £200 worth of shares, at present it is around only £79.
Thank you.
Thank you for raising this.
@Bogi.H please can you increase $SBFM (Sunshine Biopharma Inc) to be able to purchase at least £200 worth of shares, at present it is around only £90
Thank you
Thatās true. Iād imagine that it is because 212 piggyback on IBKR for asset custodian purposes.
What happens when for example everyone files a sell order at once at say IBKR (themselves) or another platform like HL?
The issues listed could feasibly happen at any broker
@Bogi.H or @Momchill.G Please can you increase $ACON Aclarion stock to a minimum of £100+
I really cannot invest in a stock that only lets you purchase around £50 worth and i do not want to use another broker as im loyal to T212.
Thank you kindly for all your help ![]()
Please could you look at raising the limit on ALAMA and OAP3, ideally both to at least 200+ shares. The website states that OAP3 is now limited to only 7 shares at 49p!
Thanks
Please can you increase $PEGY Pineapple Energy stock to a minimum of £100+
I really cannot invest in a stock that only lets you purchase around £50 worth and i do not want to use another broker as im loyal to T212.
Thank you kindly for all your help ![]()
Is there any chance to increase the City of London (CLIG)? It was a better allowance before. Now, the allowance again.
@Team212 Please increase limit of
Blencowe Resources BRES to 300 000 shares min
Rainbow Rare Earths RBW to 100 000 shares min
Atlantic Lithium ALL to 100 000 shares min
Thank you
How are investors supposed to average down if you limit them? Genuine question, not trying to be impolite or anything but really frustrated. Letās say a stock drops then t212 adjusts max holding downwards and investors are locked out and canāt average down. This is so limiting! I would really rather not have to invest through Interactive Brokers. But you making it really hard to stay loyalā¦
This is how many of us feel.
I am a 212 loyalist not only because of how cheap the platform is, but also because itās better than many in offering features. Some of the features are even better than the established players.
Bet Hargreaves Landsdown donāt offer 24hr US stock trading, for example.
While I only invest in steady stocks and ETFs and am unlikely to reach the limit, on āprincipleā the stock limits just donāt sit right with me.
If there is one thing 212 should work on, itās getting rid of these limits and getting rid of them all, for good.
All sorted out thank you.
@Team212 Hello could you please reduce the minimum quantity for NASDAQ: FFIV F5 Inc ?
Thank you, regards

Once more disappointed to hit a limit, that makes me think moving away from T212 as my main ISA.
Small stock, small position limit in value.
Talk to support and seem unable to accommodate ad hoc increases.
I understand thereās risk management involved, but seems a pretty low limit thatās limiting how I can use my ISA, and to me, it seems, for no strong reason?
